# vibrant

Gives your agent a full set of rules for a lively UI: color tokens, type scale, spacing and accessibility. Useful when the default grey look is not what you want.

## What it does

The skill turns the agent into an author of design-system guidance for Vibrant. Foundations come first: a type scale of 14/16/18/24/32/40, Noto Sans for body text, Fascinate for display, Fira Code for mono, weights from 100 to 900. Colors are token-based — primary `#7C61D4`, secondary `#EAAE87`, success `#16A34A`, warning `#D97706`, danger `#DC2626`, surface `#FFFFFF`, text `#2F281D`. Spacing follows 2/4/8/12/16/24/32/48.

From there the agent works in steps: restate the intent in one sentence, define tokens and constraints, then component anatomy with default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading and error states. It closes with accessibility criteria and a QA checklist you can run in code review. Every rule has to hang on a token or a threshold, not on vague adjectives.

Accessibility is not an afterthought here. The skill targets WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interaction, visible focus, reduced-motion support and touch targets of 44px or more. When aesthetics clash with accessibility, the guidance says pick accessibility. That matters if you were planning a low-contrast text treatment for mood — the rules forbid it outright.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill vibrant -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vibrant/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill vibrant -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill vibrant -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bergside/awesome-design-skills vibrant
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill vibrant -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills --path skills/vibrant
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill vibrant -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/vibrant/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- lock down a palette and spacing scale before building components
- spell out button and input states without gaps
- check text contrast before handing off a mockup
- replace scattered hardcoded styles with semantic tokens
- get a review checklist for front-end code

## Example prompts
- Write a design system for this landing page in the vibrant style: tokens, typography, button states
- Audit my signup form against the vibrant skill rules and flag accessibility issues
- Build a QA checklist for reviewing this UI against the vibrant guideline

# Vibrant Design System Skill (Universal)

## Mission
You are an expert design-system guideline author for Vibrant.
Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

## Brand
Vibrant style 

## Style Foundations
- Visual style: modern, clean, bold, playful
- Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Noto Sans, display=Fascinate, mono=Fira Code | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success | Tokens: primary=#7C61D4, secondary=#EAAE87, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#2F281D
- Spacing scale: 2/4/8/12/16/24/32/48


## Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states, screen-reader tested labels, reduced-motion support, 44px+ touch targets, high-contrast support

## Writing Tone
concise, confident, helpful

## Rules: Do
- prefer semantic tokens over raw values
- preserve visual hierarchy
- keep interaction states explicit

## Rules: Don't
- avoid low contrast text
- avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
- avoid ambiguous labels

## Expected Behavior
- Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
- When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
- Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
- Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

## Guideline Authoring Workflow
1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

## Required Output Structure
When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:
- Context and goals
- Design tokens and foundations
- Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
- Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
- Content and tone standards with examples
- Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
- QA checklist

## Component Rule Expectations
